11 Spooktacular Plant-Based Treats for Halloween

October 25, 2017

It’s Halloween again! With that comes the challenge of finding healthy, plant-based treats for kids and adults. So, whether you’re looking for something for a Halloween office party, kids’ school party, or for handing out on the big night, here’s a great list of plant-based Halloween snacks to consider:

Have Harry Potter fans in the house? Then they’ll love this recipe. You can forgo a pinch of the person you want to turn into, though. Instead, this is a smoothie blend that you can bet your kids will want to drink once you tell them it’s Polyjuice Potion. Optional – add a scoop of Plant Protein Powder to up the protein content.

Although you need a special pan to make these, it’s well worth the effort for something spooky and healthy for a Halloween-themed dinner party. Note that this recipe calls for a traditional (wheat flour-based) pastry, but you can replace it with this gluten-free piecrust recipe.

Baked bananas are just plain delicious. Add some pastry, and you have a fun dessert. Feel free to include some red jam for a “bloody” dipping sauce! If you don’t have access to vegan, gluten-free puff pastry you can use the pie crust recipe above.

You don’t need candy to make kids happy, just make a round of these delicious popsicles! Three layers with fresh fruit puree and coconut (or other plant-based milk), this treat will quickly become a family favorite!

11. Chocolate Treat Smoothie

With all of the sweets surrounding you in the days leading up to Halloween, it can sometimes be difficult to turn down candy. Stave off those cravings by giving yourself a Chocolate Treat Smoothie. Packed with chocolaty goodness, satiating almond butter and 20g of plant-protein, this smoothie can be your go-to treat.
